We have been providing a range of services to the educational community for a number of years now which help to support teaching and learning.
Our focus is upon positive outcomes which can be derived from such tests in respect of Curriculum Planning at school, class and individual levels – and not in league tables.
The service includes an analysis of Key Stage 1 and 2 SATs results and/or the marking and analysis of the QCA Optional Tests for Y3, 4 & 5 – which as been very well received in the past.
We also offer Key Stage 1 moderation for independent schools.
Our systems have recently been improved and developed to meet the increasing demands for this service, increase efficiency and to provide quick response times.
